The '''Hamamelidaceae''' is a family of [[flowering plant]]s in the order [[Saxifragales]], including 27 genera and about 80-90 species, all [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s. In older classifications such as the [[Cronquist system]], the family was treated in a separate order [[Hamamelidales]].
;Genera
*''[[Chunia]]''
*''[[Corylopsis]]'' ('''Winter-hazel'''; about 30 species; east [[Asia]])
*''[[Dicoryphe]]''
*''[[Disanthus]]'' (1 species; east Asia)
*''[[Distyliopsis]]''
*''[[Distylium]]'' (about 10 species; [[east Asia]], Himalayas)
*''[[Embolanthera]]''
*''[[Eustigma]]''
*''[[Exbucklandia]]'' (1 species; southeast Asia)
*''[[Fortunearia]]'' (1 species; eastern [[China]])
*''[[Fothergilla]]'' ('''Fothergilla'''; 3 species; southeastern [[United States|U.S.]])
*''[[Witch-hazel|Hamamelis]]'' ('''Witch-hazel'''; 4 species; eastern [[North America]], east [[Asia]])
*''[[Loropetalum]]'' (2 species; east Asia)
*''[[Maingaya]]''
*''[[Matudaea]]''
*''[[Molinadendron]]''
*''[[Mytilaria]]''
*''[[Neostrearia]]''
*''[[Noahdendron]]''
*''[[Ostrearia]]''
*''[[Parrotia]]'' ('''Persian Ironwood'''; 1 species; [[Alborz|Alborz Mountains]] of southwest [[Asia]])
*''[[Parrotiopsis]]'' (1 species; [[Himalaya]])
*''[[Rhodoleia]]'' (about 7 species; southeast Asia)
*''[[Sinowilsonia]]'' (1 species; western China)
*''[[Sycopsis]]'' (about 7 species; southeast Asia)
*''[[Tetrathyrium]]''
*''[[Trichocladus]]''
Some authors treat ''Rhodoleia'' in a family of its own, the Rhodoleiaceae, though genetic research by the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] shows it is best included in the Hamamelidaceae.
The genera ''Altingia, [[sweetgum|Liquidambar]]'' ('''sweetgum''') and ''Semiliquidambar'', previously included in the Hamamelidaceae, are now treated in the family [[Altingiaceae]].
